Promotiedivisie is the second tier of basketball in the Netherlands and is the highest amateur competition in the country. At the end of a Promotiedivisie-season, a Final Four is played to decide the new champion. The champion earns the right to promote to the Dutch Basketball League, although it only happens in exceptional cases, because a club has to become professional to play in the league.
